Ink presents "Loom"

The band was formed in August 1999 in Alexandroupolis, Greece. For almost a decade they have been recording various stuff of demos gaining praiseworthy reviews from Greek and international media and critics as well. In 2009 INK released their first full album called “Diary” which was a huge step to success and recognition. Through “Diary” the band came into high radio airplay both in Greece and in America, where many college radio stations included songs like “Welcome” and “Heart Pills” in their playlists. This was only the beginning. “Diary” was released by American label “POISON TREE Records”, while single “Ophelia” which is included in their second album was used as the soundtrack of “Drag Hell Zombies” next to Pamela Moore.

The alternative Greek band has also taken part in a series of music festivals and competitions such as “Spirit of Burgas” (Bulgaria), “IMAGINA the European 3D simulation and visualization event” (Monaco) performing as supporting acts for bands like Faith No More, Fun Lovin’ Criminals, Clawfinger, Twilight Singers, Puressence and God Is An Astronaut. Collaborations with Craig Walker (X-Archive), Johnny Bacolas (Second Coming, Alice in Chains) and Jeff Martin (Tea Party) were highlights of the band’s trajectory. There has never been a Greek group achieving to gain this kind of praise and recognition so fast within the country and abroad as well. In 2016 INK released their second album called “Loom” which kept up with the great work of the previous one while has been highly spoken of by critics, especially with the song “Sirens”.

• “Producer Johnny Bacolas is one talented gentleman and his latest project, INK, sounds like it would fit well on modern day rock radio” (Greg Prato, Rolling Stone Magazine)
• “They have the heart, the passion and the desire. They’re going to succeed!” (Jeff Martin, The Tea Party)
• “I love the mystery of INK” (Chris Wyse, X-the Cult, Owl)

“Ink is a rock ‘n’ roll band on a mission. Every great band from the Ramones to the Rolling Stones were on a mission. When you hear Ink you hear a band that is completely immersed in the sound they are creating and not interested in what's fashionable or flavor of the month. They sound like they do because that's how they want it! No compromise, no surrender, no bullshit. Like I said, Ink are on a mission!” (Craig Walker, solo artist, x-Archive singer)

“Ink's new record, Loom, is full of deep, soulful, and well produced rock music. I can hear influences from certain Seattle bands, including mine Second Coming, as well as classic bands like The Doors. This is Ink's best work. I'm proud to have produced the track "Ophelia" on it.” (Johnny Bacolas, Second Coming, Alice n Chains)
